Article Synopsis
- Renal colic is a common issue that can lead to serious complications like renal failure if not diagnosed promptly, with CT KUB being the preferred diagnostic tool for adults due to its effectiveness in detecting kidney stones.
- The study involved auditing patient records from A&E and primary care to evaluate the usage of CT KUB and adherence to guidelines, with initial findings showing that only 56% of patients were investigated properly.
- A second cycle of the audit aimed to address these issues, revealing that many patients still experienced delays in investigation, highlighting a need for improved adherence to diagnostic protocols.*
Purpose: To determine the clinical outcomes in patients after type 1 Boston keratoprosthesis surgery and the significance of ultrasound biomicroscopy imaging for postoperative follow-up.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included 20 eyes of 19 patients who underwent corneal transplantation with type 1 Boston keratoprosthesis between April 2014 and December 2021. Data on patient demographics, preoperative diagnosis, visual acuity, and postoperative clinical findings were analyzed.
Cisplatin (CDDP) is a standard non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) chemotherapy, but its efficacy is hampered by resistance, partly due to the Warburg effect. This study investigates how thyroid hormones enhance the Warburg effect, increasing sensitivity to cisplatin in lung cancer. Clinical data from advanced NSCLC patients were analyzed based on thyroid hormone levels, categorizing patients into high and low groups.

Methods: A retrospective audit of non-contrast head CT scans at NUH excluded scans for trauma and imaging of orbital structures.
The canal of Nuck is an anomaly of the female inguinal canal that can lead to the development of hernias or hydroceles. It is a result of incomplete obliteration of a pouch of the parietal peritoneum that accompanies the round ligament throughout the inguinal canal. This is a case report of a 27-year-old female with hydrocele of the canal of Nuck which was initially misdiagnosed as a reducible right inguinal hernia.
